Speaker 1 (00:00):
Day number two is now in the books.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Colts Camp Grand Park up in Westfield, where we are
Jake Querry here up in Hambleton County and joined by
a guy that I think is a real key figure
for this Colts team entering year number four now Bernard Ryman,
the left tackle of out of Central Michigan, where you
know you were.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I always forget about this.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You started out as a tight end, yes, frustratation in
college and I remember talking to you when you were
a rookie just about still kind of learning that position.
Did you feel like from an NFL standpoint there again
was kind of that same learning curve because that left
tackle position is so important at the NFL level, and
there was so much expected on you from an early
(00:39):
standpoint from the time he stepped on the field.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah. Absolutely, I mean college it was quick turnaround.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
It was you know, COVID year we had six games,
then my senior season be at twelve games, so eighteen
games of tackle and then you know, had to make
an NFL team. So that was definitely a big, big
learning curve. But we have some great veterans in the
room that really helped me out, you know, Q Braden, Ryan,
all those guys were huge my rookie year and they've
(01:08):
also you know, it stayed that way too, like every
single year, can I can keep learning from them, I
can keep improving my game, and that's what it's all about,
just you know, keep on improving, working the little things
and trying to get better every day.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know, the guy that was the staple and the
pillar at that position obviously just before you was Anthony Gastanzo.
And Castanzo to me was always fascinating because in getting
to know him over the course of his career, the
one thing I learned is that he never stopped learning.
Like he took the left tackle position almost like a
geometric science of studying all aspects and angles of it.
(01:40):
Do you agree with that kind of mental approach of
the position?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Absolutely, I mean just even the smallest things, the smallest angles,
the smallest step, the smallest you know, muscle you use
when you when you push off like that can all
affect your game in so many ways and can improve
your game. So I think if you don't focus on
these little things, and if you don't study the game,
if you don't study your opponents, if you don't don't
(02:05):
study these things. I think you you stop learning and
then then you need to get better or you get worse.
There's no standing still, I think in this league. So yeah,
if you don't improve, you you won't make it here long.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You know, football in general, for fans, and I don't
mean to say whether it's Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones
or Riley Leonard or whoever, fans would like to see
the consistency of just who's the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And let's go with that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
From a line standpoint, is the guy that's protected and
you are the blind side protector. Does the approach change
or the style change based on who it is that
you are protecting?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
To be honest, not really.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I mean all those guys are obviously great players off
the field, but also on the field. I mean they
all can They all have the arm to throw the
ball you know deep, they all can make the reads.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But they're also all athletics.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So do they have different tendencies though in terms of
like one guy and that's what I meant by that.
More so, like you know, one guy, you know, okay,
he's going to spend more time this side, pocket or
that side, or oscillate this way that way, can you
get too caught up in what it is that their
tendencies favor.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
A little bit, But I mean at the end of
the day, the defense, you know, decides love that too.
I mean, if a quarterback usually gets rid of the
ball faster, but the defense is taking away all his
you know, all his the first two reads or whatever,
then obviously he's gonna hold onto the ball longer.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
So as an.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Alignment you can't rely on on you can't guess. But
which is obviously also the difficult part about this position.
You you don't exactly know where the quarterback is at
all times. You don't know if he's holding onto the ball,
if he is rolling out of the pocket. So it's
it's it's good to learn the quarterbacks, the cadences, their
(03:56):
their style, the place to prefer. But at the end
of the day, I think in game it's it's kind
of you. You you're trying to do your job and
you're protecting whoever's back there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That is the voice of Bernard Ryman. We are at
Colts camp up at Grand Park in Westfield. Bernard entering
year number four, left tackle for the Colts. If it
were up to you, is would you rather have stability
and in terms of every single game, same starter at
the quarterback position or the center position.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Both would be great, but obviously in this league it's
it's the day to day business where people get hurt
all the time. I mean, you see year year after year.
But I trust all of these guys I lost. I
trust entire quarterback groom. I trust all of our centers
to you know, step up and do what needs to
be done to win games. So I'm not too concerned
(04:51):
about it. I trust all of this guys.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I thought Bartolini last year when put in the center position,
and I like Danny Pinner and his kind of Swiss
army knife aspect as well. But but Bartolini, I thought,
when he was put in the center position, did play
really well and showed a lot of promise of being it.
He kind of reminds me of you, to be honest
with you, of a guy that he went into that
position and you wondered what it was going to be.
But it looked like he was acclimated from the get go. Now,
(05:15):
for you, when you observe him or help him out
as a young player, can you see where there is
growth or areas that need to be improved.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I mean absolutely, I see growth from him every single day.
I know, you know, Tayner and Danny are battling it out.
You know, Wesseley Fringes in the mix to They're all
great players, and I think it's really gonna come down
to little things in the game that obviously the higher
ups the coach is going to get going to decide.
(05:45):
But for me personally, I see improvements from all of them,
and I see how much they've worked on it. I
see how much team they want it, and that is
just you know, it fuels the whole group because if
there's if there's some guys you know, doing extra reps,
and it encourages everyone else to do the same thing.
So we just keep on pushing each other, you know,
(06:06):
even if it's between the tackle and the center, it
doesn't matter. We try to improve as a group, and
I think they're all going to be really really good
for the season.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Do you remember your first start?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Do you remember.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The positive things that came from it or the place
where you got beat?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I mean, obviously I think as an athlete, as a
football player, but as an a lineman specifically, you always
remember the bad place most.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That has to kind of drive you a little bit, right,
It absolutely does.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I mean it's it's stings.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
It hurts because you know, the good players are expected
and the bad plays are unacceptable. So I think that's
just you know, part of the position. It you know,
the first you know it happens, it keeps you up
at night, but you know you end up learning from it,
You get you you're getting better from it.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Is your position mental?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Oh absolute?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know, does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Like can you get into kind of a streak or
a slump mentally where then you got to fight your
way back from it?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I think you've seen in the league every year that
the people like getting their own heads and players that
you know were are usually consistent, all of a sudden
drop off just because they're they're the mentalities and riot
or day they started thinking about too much. And I
absolutely believe that it's a huge thing about disposition specifically
just because of there's a lot of pressure. So but
(07:29):
I mean for us, we just rely on each other
and we do good jobs supporting each other.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You're in a contract, ar Bernard Drive and you're in here,
you are and you're number four, you have earned the
right for a big time deal. You know, I see
the numbers, twenty twenty one projected per year, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Is this the first priority of where you want to be.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, I mean, first priority for me is winning a
Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's but I mean in terms of the franchise you
want to be with, is it Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Absolutely yes, yes, I mean obviously we love it here.
We would love to, you know, get things done. But
I'm not I'm not involved in this obviously you have.
You have an agent that takes care of this. From
my understanding, there's they aren't on the same page about things.
(08:19):
So you say they're not on the same page as
of right now, they're not exactly the same page right now.
So but I mean, as I said, for me as
a football player, I'm I'm preparing for the season because
that's what matters.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I understand when you talk to your agent about it,
when he says, hey, look, they're not on the same page.
Do you think that that means just in terms of
the Colts don't want to have the discussion yet, or
the numbers themselves are way off base.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
From my understanding is that the numbers don't always quite
add up. Yet you know the way they they might
value a position differently than than than my team thinks
it is.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But I'm you know, we're working. We're working on.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Your positions one of the most valuable here. You know that, right,
Like I'll be your agent for you here. Your position
is really important.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Right So obviously I'm well aware of that. You just
want to make sure they're well aware of that, right absolutely,
And I mean I know that my agent knows that.
Hoping the Colts know that too. But obviously for me,
it's just it's about the here and now I'm improving.
I'm working on this. We still have a I have
a guaranteed season with the Colts right now. That's what
(09:28):
I'm working on. That's be working towards that Super Bowl
and everything else is you know, up to people outside
outside of yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Here, Okay, I want to ask you this every year,
I you know, when our jobs are similar in this aspect,
and that is that once the NFL season begins, if
I want to take time off for a vacation, it's
got to come really during the bye week, because you know,
everything kind of centers around what you guys are doing. Understandably,
so so this year on the bye week, I thought, well,
you know, I like to go over to Europe. That's
one of my things that I enjoy doing. I really
(09:59):
want to se Vienna, your home city of Vienna, Austria.
But the bye week, I think is the first weekend
in November. Now, what would the weather be like if
I go over?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Then?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Is that a terrible time to go?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I don't think it's ever a terrible time to visit Vienna,
but it's gonna be similar to here, similar to like
the Midwest temperature, so it might be cold and rainy there,
but it's it's it's still a beautiful time. I mean,
you can still do a lot of sight seeing there.
I'm not quite sure if the Christmas markets will be
(10:29):
open by then, but that's definitely something you got it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's pretty cool, right?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Yeah? What do you miss most about home? Family and friends?
So the people? Really do you get a chance?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
How often do you go back or like in the
off season you get to go back?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Usually we go into off season, but this year my
wife and I we just had a baby, so obviously
we didn't we didn't travel with a little one.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But we'll be back, can I gratch. How old is
the baby? Five months now? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So are you getting any sleep?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean we moved into the hotel right now,
so that's obviously helping. No, But she's she's been great,
she been she's been a good sleeper.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So with that in terms of right now, just your
overall mindset when you look at this roster, you look
at where you guys were from a year ago, and
maybe areas you fell short. What is both the Bernard
Rayman and the Indianapolis Colt. I guess mindset. And I
know you're going to say, well, it's to go to
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I'm not looking for the patentent answer here, right The
reality answer is when you guys resume and you sit
down and you look over things, the area that you
say to yourself, we've got to get this right is
what I think.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's just daily improvements. It's it's the little things. You know.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Sometimes it's a lot of the times it's like a
player too short, it's a score, a field goal that
different that can make a difference at the end of
the game. It's it's always close, but you know, we
can't afford that as a team you know close isn't
good enough.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So Sean Schichen had mentioned that that games oftentimes come
down to like the last couple of drives and the
frantic nature of it. Now he told us, I don't
know if he's told you this, that in practice what
he wants to try to do in this camp is
create havoc and create chaos for you guys to then
get used to navigating through.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Have you seen that approach from a practice standpoint?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I mean there's been a lot of urgency, a lot
of you know, different situations thrown at us in meetings
in practice, and I think the coaches are really trying
to push all of us, not just physical, but also,
like you mentioned, mentally with the different situations like you know,
end up the game and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So I've definitely noticed that.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, lastly, because we did this last time I talked
to you, so Arnold Schwarzenegger, obviously from Austria, you probably
get tired of doing this every single time you talked
to me on we had you do. Bernard Ryman, I'll
be back, like in the Schwarzenegger voice, But now what
I need you to say is I'm Bernard Ryman. And
I want to be back, all right, all right, now,
your agent pie, I'm gonna want to hear that. But
here we go from a leverage standpoint, all right, here
(12:53):
we go three two and one.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'm Bernard Ryman and I want to be back.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yes, yes, all right, Bernard. I'm in here for appreciate it,
best of luck to you. But' not rhyming here
Day number two is now in the books.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Is this the first priority of where you want to be.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, I mean, first priority for me is winning a
Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's but I mean in terms of the franchise you
want to be with, is it Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Absolutely yes, yes, I mean obviously we love it here.
We would love to, you know, get things done. But
I'm not I'm not involved in this obviously you have.
You have an agent that takes care of this. From
my understanding, there's they aren't on the same page about things.

Do you think that that means just in terms of
the Colts don't want to have the discussion yet, or
the numbers themselves are way off base.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
From my understanding is that the numbers don't always quite
add up. Yet you know the way they they might
value a position differently than than than my team thinks
it is.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But I'm you know, we're working. We're working on.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Your positions one of the most valuable here. You know that, right,
Like I'll be your agent for you here. Your position
is really important.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Right So obviously I'm well aware of that. You just
want to make sure they're well aware of that, right absolutely,
And I mean I know that my agent knows that.
Hoping the Colts know that too. But obviously for me,
it's just it's about the here and now I'm improving.
I'm working on this. We still have a I have
a guaranteed season with the Colts right now. That's what
(09:28):
I'm working on. That's be working towards that Super Bowl
and everything else is you know, up to people outside
outside of yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Here, Okay, I want to ask you this every year,
I you know, when our jobs are similar in this aspect,
and that is that once the NFL season begins, if
I want to take time off for a vacation, it's
got to come really during the bye week, because you know,
everything kind of centers around what you guys are doing. Understandably,
so so this year on the bye week, I thought, well,
you know, I like to go over to Europe. That's
one of my things that I enjoy doing. I really
(09:59):
want to se Vienna, your home city of Vienna, Austria.
But the bye week, I think is the first weekend
in November. Now, what would the weather be like if
I go over?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Then?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Is that a terrible time to go?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I don't think it's ever a terrible time to visit Vienna,
but it's gonna be similar to here, similar to like
the Midwest temperature, so it might be cold and rainy there,
but it's it's it's still a beautiful time. I mean,
you can still do a lot of sight seeing there.
I'm not quite sure if the Christmas markets will be
(10:29):
open by then, but that's definitely something you got it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's pretty cool, right?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Yeah? What do you miss most about home? Family and friends?
So the people? Really do you get a chance?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
How often do you go back or like in the
off season you get to go back?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Usually we go into off season, but this year my
wife and I we just had a baby, so obviously
we didn't we didn't travel with a little one.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But we'll be back, can I gratch. How old is
the baby? Five months now? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So are you getting any sleep?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean we moved into the hotel right now,
so that's obviously helping. No, But she's she's been great,
she been she's been a good sleeper.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So with that in terms of right now, just your
overall mindset when you look at this roster, you look
at where you guys were from a year ago, and
maybe areas you fell short. What is both the Bernard
Rayman and the Indianapolis Colt. I guess mindset. And I
know you're going to say, well, it's to go to
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I'm not looking for the patentent answer here, right The
reality answer is when you guys resume and you sit
down and you look over things, the area that you
say to yourself, we've got to get this right is
what I think.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's just daily improvements. It's it's the little things. You know.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Sometimes it's a lot of the times it's like a
player too short, it's a score, a field goal that
different that can make a difference at the end of
the game. It's it's always close, but you know, we
can't afford that as a team you know close isn't
good enough.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So Sean Schichen had mentioned that that games oftentimes come
down to like the last couple of drives and the
frantic nature of it. Now he told us, I don't
know if he's told you this, that in practice what
he wants to try to do in this camp is
create havoc and create chaos for you guys to then
get used to navigating through.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Have you seen that approach from a practice standpoint?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I mean there's been a lot of urgency, a lot
of you know, different situations thrown at us in meetings
in practice, and I think the coaches are really trying
to push all of us, not just physical, but also,
like you mentioned, mentally with the different situations like you know,
end up the game and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So I've definitely noticed that.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, lastly, because we did this last time I talked
to you, so Arnold Schwarzenegger, obviously from Austria, you probably
get tired of doing this every single time you talked
to me on we had you do. Bernard Ryman, I'll
be back, like in the Schwarzenegger voice, But now what
I need you to say is I'm Bernard Ryman. And
I want to be back, all right, all right, now,
your agent pie, I'm gonna want to hear that. But
here we go from a leverage standpoint, all right, here
(12:53):
we go three two and one.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'm Bernard Ryman and I want to be back.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yes, yes, all right, Bernard. I'm in here for appreciate it,
best of luck to you. But' not rhyming here
